Bigg Question!!

So, i need to know something.
Is this just like gonna level out a truck or a full 3in lift front and back of the truck?
Or would i be better to go with a just a body lift?

That is gonna lift your front 3 inches and probably lift the rear about 2 inches. Also, it's gonna wear out your ball joints in short order. Most everyone agrees that 3 inches is just too much without drop down brackets and leaves the ball joints at too severe of an angle to last. I'd suggest going with a 2 or 2.5 inch Autospring leveling kit. If you want more lift than that, add a body lift or install a full suspension lift.

I'm not sure what that second Skyjacker kit is for, but it's not for a 04-08.
But no, you cannot combine a leveling kit and longer shocks for more lift. You wouldn't even be able to get your front end bolted back together. If you want more lif than your leveling kit, add a body lift or buy a full suspension lift.
